Hey guys,
about a couple of months ago i was in an accident, someone hit my front right hand side of the car..
and it cracked the radiator a bit, the panel beater just place some glue on top of it... n recently its leaking so i took it back to get it fixed... ONCE again he put more glue on it, I'M NOT TOO HAPPY..

But the problem is now... i think theres another crack somewhere else... because coolant water is leaking inside the car. the front passenger side.....

I want to know is this a serious problem? does it need alot of work to fix all these radiator problems..
I know for a fact i need a new radiator for sure... but do i need to change other stuff??

any comment would help alot

THanks

no, call your insurance, tell them/show them the repair work he's done and demand that another shop fix it correctly.

gotta say i agree with bitter!

tell the insurance that you want them to get someone else as this guy is a bag of sh*t!

'glueing up the radiator'???

thats the dumbest thing i've ever heard, yeah maybe its something you'd do yourself if money was tight as a temporary repair but when its an insurance paid repair, it should be a new radiator at least!

also agree with the heater matrix being broken (or at best it could just be a loose pipe going in/out of it mate?)
